Al Jazeera under fire after source backs off Peyton Manning doping claim
The Washington Times ^ | December 27, 2015 | Valerie Richardson

Posted on 12/27/2015 6:06:36 PM PST by McGruff

An Al Jazeera America investigation saying that Peyton Manning used illegal performance-enhancing drugs came under attack Sunday after the report's source recanted his allegations.

Charlie Sly, the source behind the Manning allegation cited in the investigative report, "The Dark Side," posted a video late Saturday saying that he had been videotaped without his knowledge or consent by Al Jazeera's Liam Collins, a former British hurdler.

"The statements on any recordings or any communications that Al-Jazeera plans to air are absolutely false and incorrect," Mr. Sly said on YouTube. "To be clear, I am recanting any such statements and there is no truth to any statement of mine that Al Jazeera plans to air. Under no circumstances should any of those statements recordings or communications be aired."

Isn’t Al Jazeera Algore’s favorite “news” source?

The second I heard this report came from Al Jihadist, I knew it was BS

Manning donated to Jeb Bush. He’s doping.

That's why Rush calls them the "drive-by media".

Shoot unsubstantiated stories into a crowd of people, then drive merrily down the road, watching everyone scramble to figure out what happened.

Once the truth comes out, and so much damage has been done, the "drive-bys" have moved on to the next important story.

Their work is done.

Any wonder WHY Trump is so popular?

He calls the media out on the crap they spew.

Too bad "republican" establishment types don't get that.

Maybe Jeb could get some traction if he stopped spending all of that time and $$$ attacking DJT.

Go after the REAL enemies.

#1 HAS to be the MSM.

#2 has to be Hillary, which is in the pocket of #1.

From what I read, he was feeding them false information to see if they would run with it.

Amen...The MSM is our biggest enemy. They lie, propagandize, and manipulate the citizenry in a direction that benefits their interests, not ours.

if true, then it'd been nice if he told Manning about it BEFORE hand

Strong denials from teh major league baseball players reported to be involved too.

If Al Jazeera actually DOES air this, I hope Peyton sues them for defamation for every penny AlJaz has. It’s time for new ownership of AlJaz anyway.
